Should the bumper be repaired or replaced?
1 Answers
Whether the bumper should be repaired or replaced depends mainly on the extent of the damage. If the internal support structure of the bumper is severely damaged, replacement is recommended. Here is some additional information: 1. Bumper: The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. It serves as a buffer during collisions to reduce impact forces. 2. Bumper components: A plastic bumper consists of three main parts: the outer cover, cushioning material, and crossbeam. The outer cover and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed from cold-rolled steel sheets approximately 1.5mm thick, pressed into a U-shaped channel. The outer cover and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, which is then bolted to the vehicle's frame rails, allowing for easy removal when necessary.
